Current Joys

AKA: TELE/VISIONS and Nick Rattigan

About Current Joys

This is the music of Nick Rattigan. Originally this artist was known under the Moniker “The Nicholas project” (2008-2012) until, in 2013 formally converting to “TELE/VISIONS” alongside the release of Nick’s debut LP “Wild Heart” featuring songs previously released under his former name.

This album gained traction shortly before the death of internet icon, Emma Greer DiBiase, when she used track 5; “New Flesh” in the last vine she uploaded. In light of his growing popularity, Nick released two LPs and three EPs over the following year.

In 2015, Nick released a new LP “Me oh my Mirror” under the title of “TELE/VISIONS” . However, he soon after renamed himself to “Current Joys” as he felt his musical aesthetic was shifting away from the “80’s dance music” that his original title was indicative of. All of his previous music is now re-released under this title as well as new singles such as “Kids” and “Dogfight”

Nick’s other project is called “Surf Curse” playing alongside Jacob Rubeck.
